After picking who they are, users now pick what they want to achieve with
TryPost. A multi-select goal step (12 options + an exclusive "just exploring"
and "something else") sits between the persona step and connect, mirroring the
persona screen's style.
The goals persist to a json column on users and are mirrored to PostHog on
identify (onboarding_goals array plus a boolean per goal), so campaigns can be
cross-tabbed against the intent they actually attracted. connect now requires
both a persona and at least one goal; persona store advances to the goal step.
Options are grounded in TryPost's real capabilities (publishing, AI content,
brand voice, automation via API/MCP, collaboration, analytics) and copy is
localized in en/es/pt-BR.
Collapse LinkedIn to one content type per account kind (linkedin_post, linkedin_page_post). Publishers infer the publish format from the attached media — text, single image/video, multi-image carousel, or PDF document — matching how facebook_post/x_post already work; PDF is exclusive of any other attachment. Removes the editor variant picker, keeping only the PDF document title field. Includes a data migration collapsing the retired carousel/document content types.
Replace the two LinkedIn account cards with a single Connect LinkedIn button: one unified OAuth grant (linkedin-openid driver, union of scopes) then a post-callback identity picker to post as the personal profile (linkedin) or a company page the member administers (linkedin-page). The chosen organization is validated against the admin-verified list from the OAuth grant. Per-capability gating via LINKEDIN_ENABLED / LINKEDIN_PAGE_ENABLED supports profile-only or org-only self-hosting. Removes LinkedInPageController, LinkedInTokenSynchronizer, the standalone linkedin-page connect routes, and the unused redirect_page config.
Pennant: all feature flags were replaced by BillingCycle, so remove the package
(composer), the now-empty app/Features discovery, the pennant-development skill,
and replace the create_features_table migration with a drop_features_table.
Timezone: the registration flow collected a user timezone (seeder, request
validation, hidden field) but no timezone column ever existed and CreateUser
discarded it. Remove the dead handling, the orphaned Timezone rule, and the
tests that covered the now-removed validation.
Bug fix
- Surface the localized "network already connected" message on the
Facebook/Instagram/InstagramFacebook/LinkedInPage/Threads/YouTube OAuth
callbacks: catch NetworkAlreadyConnectedException before the generic catch
so the conflict no longer falls through to a generic error + Log::error.
Scope / dead code
- Remove the orphaned BillingController::checkout() + app.billing.checkout route
(onboarding starts checkout directly); delete the now-dead DiscordWidget and
useFeatureAccess composable; prune orphaned i18n keys left by removing the
plan picker / upgrade dialog / count limits (billing.subscribe.*,
accounts.limit_reached, workspaces.limit_reached, common.discord.*).
- Drop the unused `plan` prop from the usage page and the unused `label` from
the onboarding persona payload (labels come from i18n); remove
Persona::options()/label().
Conventions
- declare(strict_types=1) on the two new migrations.
- Extract autofill validation into AutofillBrandRequest (FormRequest).
- Drop the unused $plan param from AccountPolicy::swapPlan.
- CreateUser: drop the stale config('cashier.trial_days', 7) fallback (now 8).
- Rename LimitEnforcementTest to InvitePermissionTest; use Pest mock() helper in
WorkspaceQuantitySyncTest; move shared test helpers into Pest.php.
- Memoize BillingCycle window() + subscription lookup.
Pricing
- Bill per workspace ($12/mo or $120/yr each); Stripe quantity tracks the
workspace count and syncs on workspace create/delete.
- 2,500 AI credits per workspace, pooled at the account level; monthly reset
on the billing anniversary, annual granted upfront (no rollover).
- One social account per network per workspace; remove all count-based limits
(workspace/social/member) and the legacy plan tiers (single Workspace plan).
Onboarding (cloud only: SELF_HOSTED=false + PostHog)
- Replace the /subscribe plan picker with /onboarding persona selection
(Creator/Freelancer/Startup/Agency/Small business/Other), saved on the user
(users.persona) and mirrored to PostHog, then Stripe Checkout on the monthly
price. 8-day trial so Stripe displays 7.
Billing screen
- Remove the Change Plan dialog (dead with a single plan); add an annual-upgrade
banner for monthly subscribers (swapToYearly).
- Current-plan card shows the workspace count instead of the plan name.
System AI
- Brand analyzer / workspace autofill is always allowed and never debits credits
(system feature, not the user's usage).
Self-hosted (SELF_HOSTED=true) bypasses all billing, credit, limit, network,
and onboarding logic.
- Add AutomationRun::durationInMilliseconds() as the single source of truth
for the Invocations list and metrics, replacing the duplicated inline diff.
- Fold the variables and root_run_id columns into their create migrations
(this branch isn't in production) and drop the standalone alters.
- Import Illuminate\Http\Response (aliased) instead of referencing it inline.
The scheduler command ran every minute and loaded all active automations,
then filtered by trigger_type in PHP because that value lived buried in the
nodes JSON array — effectively a full-table scan plus a JSON decode per row
each minute, discarding every non-schedule automation.
Derive trigger_type into a real, indexed column on save (recomputed in the
existing saving() hook so it can never drift from nodes) and filter on it in
SQL. Applies to both the schedule firer and the post-trigger dispatcher.
Replace free-text brand_tone/brand_voice_notes with a single structured
brand_voice_traits JSON column backed by the BrandVoiceTrait enum, exposed
as choice-chip pills in the brand settings UI and autofillable from a site.
Brand voice and visuals become per-automation toggles on the Generate node.
Unify the image controls into one 0-10 picker (0 = text-only, 1 = single,
2+ = carousel) and feed the generator the most restrictive selected network
so copy fits every platform. Pass that same platform context through the
humanizer pass — extracted into a shared ResolvesPlatformCopyBudget trait —
so the rewrite can no longer drift past the character cap the generator
respected, in both the automation and manual creation flows.
Persist the trigger node's schedule editor fields on save (they were
silently dropped by validated() for lacking validation rules).
Automations editor:
- {{ }} expression autocomplete in CodeMirror, scoped to the braces and
graph-aware (suggests only what upstream nodes provide + variables + now);
migrate the Generate prompt to CodeMirror so it shares the same completions
- Expandable editors: an expand button slides out a side-by-side panel
(matching the sidebar card), with a minimize control; the inline field
collapses to a hint while editing in the panel
- Hover-revealed editor toolbar (expand/copy) with styled tooltips so the
buttons no longer obscure the text while reading
- Beta badge on the Automations sidebar item
- Delete a single connection with Backspace/Delete (edge selection)
- Re-key node config so switching between same-type nodes refreshes the form
HTTP fetch node — cover every JSON response shape:
- Top-level array, object map (items_path=*), array of primitives, and NDJSON
- Key-based dedup via item_key_path (seen-set, FIFO-capped) for feeds without
dates; first poll records a baseline and emits nothing (date path too)
Fan-out test visibility:
- root_run_id links every forked branch back to the run that started a test,
so the test panel aggregates all branches instead of one
Fix a few pre-existing type issues (ScheduleData import, padded minute,
optional created_at).
- Added support for workflow variables in automations, allowing users to define reusable values.
- Implemented validation for Generate nodes to ensure intended image counts align with selected accounts.
- Updated automation models and requests to handle new variables, including encryption for sensitive data.
- Enhanced UI to display variables and their management within the automation editor.
- Improved error handling for webhook and HTTP nodes to prevent requests to invalid URLs.
- Refactored various components for better context resolution during automation runs.
- Added new automation-related routes and controllers for managing automations.
- Introduced automation nodes in the UI with distinct styles and interactions.
- Updated sidebar to include navigation for automations.
- Enhanced post creation logic to support automation metadata.
- Refactored content type and platform enums into types for better type safety.
- Added localization for automation-related terms in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
- Improved error handling in various components to accommodate new features.
Core changes:
- Replace Unsplash slide pipeline with gpt-image-2 via Laravel AI SDK.
New AiImageClient builds prompts from a Blade template seeded by the
workspace's ImageStyle enum, content language, brand color (mapped to a
human-readable name via HexColorName helper) and brand description.
- Drop Template B from TemplateImageGenerator: every slide now renders as
Template A (full-bleed photo + bottom gradient + white/grey overlay).
Removes renderTemplateB, roundCorners, blendHex, ensureContrast and the
closing-slide pipeline.
- StreamPostCreation creates the Post directly and dispatches
PostCreationReady with post_id; the wizard kills its preview step and
redirects straight to the post editor on completion. Finalize endpoint
removed.
- New Workspace.image_style enum field with an 8-option visual picker
shared by /workspaces/create and /settings/workspace/brand via a single
BrandForm component (autofill is a prop). 8 sample webp thumbs ship
under public/images/branding/image-styles/.
- Media items gain optional source ('ai'|'unsplash'|'giphy') and
source_meta (recipe needed to regenerate AI images later); the gallery
picker tags Unsplash/Giphy attachments.
- Brand-color autofill: new CssColorFrequencyExtractor parses every
hex/rgb/hsl value in the homepage CSS, clusters perceptually similar
shades in CIE LAB (Delta E 76 < 12), filters neutrals and returns the
most frequent cluster. Solves Tailwind/utility-CSS sites where no
semantic --primary variable is exposed.
- Credits: gpt-image-2 metered at 15 credits/image (low quality default).
- Layout: AuthSplitLayout right column is sticky/h-svh so the form
textarea growth no longer stretches the marketing slider.
- i18n cleanup: localized labels follow the no-em-dash convention.
Persists marketing attribution and registration metadata for new users
across the three signup paths (email, Google, GitHub):
- 5 utm_* columns + registration_ip on the users table
- PreservesUtmParameters trait stores incoming utm_* query params on
the register/redirect GET, retrieves them on the POST/callback —
surviving the OAuth round-trip via session
- request()->ip() captured at the controller layer
Adds GitHub as a second OAuth provider:
- GitHubController mirroring the Google one (now renamed from
SocialLoginController for symmetry)
- Settings → Authentication can connect/disconnect GitHub like Google
- Single SocialLogin.vue component replaces the per-provider buttons
on Login/Register, rendering each enabled provider plus a single
"or continue with" divider
UserFactory gains defaults for the new nullable columns so model
strict-mode access in tests doesn't trip.
Mentions in post comments
- @mention autocomplete (workspace members, current user excluded) with
marker syntax @[uuid] persisted, display names rendered via CommentBody
chips; live edit replaces markers with names and converts back on save.
- NotifyMentions action with workspace-scoped membership check, dedupes
same user, only newly-added mentions on update.
- Email + in-app via SendNotification job, respecting per-user
notification_preferences.mentioned_in_comment.
- Heartbeat-based presence (Cache, 60s TTL, 30s ping) so online recipients
get only the in-app notification — no email noise.
- Real-time bell on workspace.{id}.user.{id} private channel
(NotificationCreated event), scoped channel name avoids client-side
filtering and lays out a convention for future workspace channels.
- Mailable localized via lang/{en,es,pt-BR}/mail.php; Maizzle source
template for the email is committed and built into resources/views/mail.
AI generation refactor (Action layer + MCP)
- Extracted Actions/Ai/Generate{Image,Video} with QuotaExhaustedException
so agent tools and MCP tools share a single domain entry point.
- Mcp/Tools/Ai/Generate{Image,Video}Tool registered in TryPostServer; both
return MediaResource payloads.
- Orientation::imageApiSize maps non-OpenAI ratios to 1:1/2:3/3:2.
- config/ai.php is now the single source of truth driven by env, removing
the trypost.ai shim. Default text/image providers flipped to OpenAI.
Settings/UX
- /settings/workspace split into shadcn Tabs (Workspace / Brand / Users)
with three components.
- /assets and the in-editor MediaPicker open the ImagePreviewDialog
lightbox on image click while preserving action button behaviour.
- Comments tab landed via ?tab=comments&comment=<id> from notification
click (scroll-to + temporary highlight).
- Mention autocomplete popover flips above when near the viewport bottom.
- Real social platform PNGs replace Tabler brand glyphs in schedule
pills and post list, with hover tooltip carrying display_name + handle.
Bug fixes
- AcceptInvite: controller now passes workspace + role payload that the
Vue page expects; login/register CTAs preselect the invite email.
- WorkspaceInvite mailable: stopped referencing nonexistent
$invite->workspace and $invite->role; column added to the migration,
Invite model casts role to WorkspaceRole, CreateInvite persists it.
- PostCommentCreated: added broadcastAs so .PostCommentCreated actually
matches the Echo listener; payload now includes mentioned_users so
receivers render the chip correctly without a refetch.
- Preview components for X/Pinterest/Threads/Bluesky/LinkedIn/Mastodon/
TikTok/YouTube switched from item.type === 'image' to
!isVideoMedia(item) so media without a persisted type still renders.
- UpdatePostRequest now accepts media.*.{type,mime_type,size,...} so the
posts.media JSON keeps the metadata that the previews need.
- Removed throttle:6,1 from social connect routes (was 429ing legitimate
OAuth retries).
- Used MediaType enum cases instead of literal 'image'/'video' strings
when creating media rows.
Tests
- MentionParser unit tests, NotifyMentions feature tests including
online/offline channel selection and preference gating, MCP AI tool
happy paths, MentionedInComment mailable rendering, AcceptInvite +
search-members + index mentioned_users path. 1229 passing.
Users can now pick the language AI uses for captions, hashtags,
descriptions, AND on-image / on-screen text — independent of the
app UI locale. A user with pt-BR UI who writes for an English
audience gets English content, and vice versa.
- New content_language column on workspaces (added to the existing
create_workspaces_table migration since we're pre-production),
defaulting to 'en'. Fillable on the model.
- Dropdown in Settings → Workspace → Brand, side-by-side with Tone.
Options: English, Português (Brasil), Español. Short helper copy
explains what the setting controls.
- Validation: sometimes|string|in:en,pt-BR,es — optional on update
so existing callers that don't post the field keep the current
value (DB default handles fresh workspaces).
- System prompt now uses $content_language (sourced from the
workspace) instead of app()->getLocale(). The rule was also
strengthened: the AI must always write in this language regardless
of what language the user types instructions in, and must instruct
image/video tools to render on-media text in this language too.
- Image and video Blade prompts received a new line forcing any text
rendered inside the generated media to use $content_language.
- GenerateImage tool and VideoGenerationService pass the workspace's
content_language into their respective prompt templates.
Previously the caption would be in Portuguese (since it followed the
user's input language) but the image could render with English text
because there was no explicit constraint. Now the whole pipeline is
aligned to one per-workspace language.
- Sidebar reorganized: Workspace group (connections, hashtags, labels,
API keys, settings) and Account group (settings, usage, billing)
- Account group only visible to owner and hidden in self-hosted mode
- Onboarding simplified: role -> account (connect socials) -> completed
-> redirect to /subscribe. Removed Subscription setup step.
- Subscribe page redesigned with 4 plan cards, monthly/yearly toggle,
trial info, and per-plan features list
- Billing page redesigned following Sendkit layout (sections with
sidebar labels)
- Processing page uses usePoll with immediate watch for subscription
activation
- Cancel URL redirects directly to /subscribe
- Account settings page with name and billing_email (syncs with Stripe)
- Usage page with ring meters for all plan limits
- Settings layout tabs only for user pages (profile, password,
notifications). Workspace/API keys/billing are standalone pages.
- GoogleAuthButton extracted as reusable component
- WorkspaceRole TypeScript enum for type-safe role checks in frontend
- Trial period changed to 7 days
- Fixed onboarding loop when user confirms email
- All 1101 tests passing
- Create Account model as Cashier Billable entity (stripe, plan, subscription)
- Account owns workspaces and has an owner_id (User)
- User belongs to one Account via account_id
- Workspace belongs to Account via account_id, no longer has billing fields
- Remove Brand model entirely (workspaces serve as grouping)
- Rename brand_limit to workspace_limit in plans
- Workspace roles simplified: admin/member/viewer (owner via Account)
- Invites now belong to Account with workspaces JSON array
- Pennant features scope changed from Workspace to Account
- EnsureSubscribed middleware checks Account subscription
- All controllers updated: BillingController, OnboardingController,
WorkspaceInviteController, SocialController, StripeEventListener
- Frontend: extract GoogleAuthButton component, create WorkspaceRole
enum for type-safe role checks, fix all views for new architecture
- All 1101 tests passing
- New card-based layout showing connected accounts with avatar, platform
badge, brand label, and connection date
- "Add Social" button opens dialog with platform grid for connecting
- Removed unique constraint on workspace_id+platform to allow multiple
accounts per platform
- Removed "already connected" checks from all 13 OAuth controllers
- Updated tests to verify multi-account connection works
Instead of separate alter-table migrations, edit the original
create_table migrations directly since we're resetting the database.
- Users table: removed stripe_id, pm_type, pm_last_four, trial_ends_at
- Workspaces table: added plan_id, stripe_id, pm_type, pm_last_four, trial_ends_at
- Subscriptions table: changed user_id FK to workspace_id FK
- Social accounts table: added brand_id FK
- Plans and brands tables ordered before their dependents
- Deleted 5 redundant alter-table migrations
